Why a 25+ meme ?
Being a slightly older kpop and kdrama fan I (and a few others with me) always get a little disappointed by the friending memes.
Lots of 12-17ish year olds. Nothing wrong with being that age (it's wonderful), but someone 25+ or even 35+ can get a bit
discouraged by it. At least that's how it is for me.
I suspect there might be lots of older fans, like me, who feel like that. If you're 25+ - 35+ you really don't have much in common with a
16 year old.That's a fact. It always keeps me from participating in the memes, thinking what's the use ?I'm thinking there might be more fans out there feeling the same way. So therefore the 25+ cut off. Also since this is a 25+ meme please only participate if you're in fact 25 or older !
Also this meme doesn't have a deadline. No need to comment within the first 5 mins after posting (though you're welcome to do so).
There's time zones and I assume most 25+ y.o. have college,work and families to deal with (that pesky real life !)
Please feel free to come back and check for new comments anytime, or for lazy people (like me :p) track this post for new comments ;)

I have all but stopped writing, IDK why. I mostly read slash, but I've read some good gen (in Star Trek fandom). And honestly, what I read is stuff that my sister recs me (I turned her toward the dark side). When I wrote in football/soccer RPF, I wrote het just because everyone seems to against it.

Date: 2012-05-17 10:51 pm (UTC)haha CNBlue? I like a few of their songs but I never really got into them. I think FT Island is way better... plus I'm not creeped out by any of them. The guitarist in CNBlue... he's creepy. lol
Anyway, yes! We totally should~ ^_^
(and have a cute Seobie eating icon since I'm about to go get sushi with my mom XD)

Date: 2012-05-17 10:55 pm (UTC)Jonghyun or Yonghwa, because Yonghwa is ... IDEK. My bias is Jungshin, who plays bass (see icon) ... and also looks a little bit like Hyun Joong (which is why one of my tumblr tags for photos of Jungshin is Leader Jr).
Awesome! I added you. I haven't had this much fun on LJ in AGES.
(OMG, adorable. Seriously.)

Oh! You don't know how nice it is to find someone else who hates Heechul! And I don't just hate him, I'm also so creeped out by him that it borders on fear. lol I call him Rape-Eyes Murder-Smirk.

Date: 2012-05-18 01:16 am (UTC)O.o What? No one writes them right now, because Kangin's been away, but that was one of the biggest pairings when I still read suJu fanfics. But I can't find any good fics (and there is way too much pwp) so i stopped. I prefer the crack pairings, anyway - because no one writes them - and crossovers are my favorite.
YAY for Het! Good for you.

Date: 2012-05-18 01:38 am (UTC)When I posted my (one) Kangin/Sungmin fic I was told that I probably wouldn't get a lot of feedback because no one ships them. I was like ... but why not??? I think another part of the problem is that I like to write AUs and apparently that's not most people's thing (another recent discovery of mine).
IKR :D

I love AUs! They're my favorite! Give me a well written AU, or crossover (I LOVE crossovers, have I mentioned that?), and I'm all over it (possibly favorite crossover ever: Upon a Fiery Steed: SG-1/Gundam Wing. Seriously. If I could write something like that, I'd.. I don't know, explode).

Date: 2012-05-18 06:25 pm (UTC)I really don't think Yoochun was terrible in SKKS. I liked his character as well as the other 2 guys (Played by Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In) and I loved Park Min Young as the female lead. The music is awesome. I am also a fan of gender bender plots..lol..

Date: 2012-05-18 06:30 pm (UTC)I didn't really love a lot of the other songs I heard. I love fast paced dance/industrial music the best so most of their songs I listened to were not really in that genre. I didn't realize Kpop groups so such a variety of types of music, I like it!
